But it has been claimed the veteran TV and film big wig’s behaviour “crossed the line” with colleagues.

Executives  at the streaming giant have confirmed  he is no longer working on the production — about the early lives of the period drama’s main characters, including Queen Charlotte, Lady Danbury and Violet Bridgerton.

Sources say “bullying” has become an issue on set — even leading to show chiefs introducing an anonoymous   whistleblowing hotline for  staff to report concerns and abuse.

Mr Arrowsmith, who was in charge of the sets and aesthetics on the  show, has previously worked for  the BBC and ITV on shows including Doctor Who and Cold Feet.

A source said: “There have been several issues on set, and a few crew members ex- pressed concerns about a number of different incidents.”

A Netflix spokesman confirmed Mr Arrowsmith is no longer working on the drama, but declined to comment further.

The new series is expected to air next year.
